The Island

Paradise embraced by turquoise green and blue.

Facing life on my own,
at first I was unable to see.
That I was never alone, 
I shared my life with the sea.

There to greet me in the morning,
the moment I opened my eyes.
Calling to me with a warning,
of a weather changing surprise.

I listen for it's beautiful song,
a melody so pure and clear.
Inviting me to sing along,
with music, only some can hear.

Waves constantly in motion,
changing, powerful to calm.
Moods and tides of the ocean,
tumultuous or a soothing balm.

The times I cry out in pain,
the waves begin to pound
There is no need to explain,
the action muffles the sound.

The years quickly come and go,
and life is, as we decide.
One thing that I know,
I will stay to share mine, oceanside.

As soft summer's tide crests, so too our love
  Heartbeats wafting, on willowy waves race

Swirling ocean's fingers reaching for shore
  Arms gently encircle wondrous weaving waists

By Dawne Zacharias 
                    
                Walking on the sands towards
                            the oceans beckoning call                                 
                         blue sky with soft white clouds overhead
                             waves reaching out on the shoreline
                                    seagulls curious, fly close by
                                waves climax into foam formations
                        shades of aquamarine, blue and green 
                      I close my eyes and feel the spray
                            from the tumbling waves before me
                          the Sun's healing rays restores my soul,                                           
                                     I am whole again.

Colored sails dot the horizon
   fire-orange flecks dip and rise in
Turquoise palettes, sherbet skies...

Demigods lounge g-stringed
   in ocean-front's warm sands 
Bulging their muscles
   Glistening their sweat

~ Tan, the sole tint
      they're aware of as yet
